VOL. i. Ht BASE FALSEHOOD. Wr have been informed that cer tain parties- have been circulating the report that the Dawn is an In dependent paper—notPopuli6t. All such reports are base and'malicious fabrications. Who Cm Answer? Someone has discovered that all • of the State nominees on the Pupu list; ticket are members of the A. P. A. We do not believe it, but if they are, and were nominated as! Populists, and not as A. P. A's., we j would have no kick coming. What! we do object to is the manipulation i of Populist conventions in behalf of j a secret.order.—Tacoma Sun. j Sow# and to th« Point If the Populists who have joined the A. P. A. are wise,and really de sire to see Pbpnlist principles suc ceed, they will have n© more to do with this organisation. If a-man's ability aricl inclftiatfow and desire to fight Catholics.- is to be made a test of his Populism,-then we are not a Populist. Let the republi earis'ftght it out on that line if they want to, but let us, who claim to be in favor of "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," refuse to be made a tool of'for the further ance of plutocracy. Let us go into the county convention as Populists and not in the intere&t of any secret organization and success is certain, but if we are split on any side issue, defeat-will be the result, and justly so.

"I see a time coming fraught with more danger than any war we have yet passed through; a time when the moneypow er will dominate over patriotism, and gradually contracting our currency, force us into a fratricidal war more horrible than any yet past. The future dangers to the republic* He in the increased greed of the mony power. Let our future law makers beware of the* foothold that power shall endeavor to gain upon our statnte books. I see in the near future a crisis arising that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow; while the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong' its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth has aggregated in a few hands and the repulic is destroyed. —Abraham Lincoln.

What is the matter with our mail service? We have the finest postal service in the world and the postal clerks nev er go on a strike. If the railway business were half so honestly, or half so well managed in any sense, as the government manages its mail business in all the States and Ter ritories, there would be little cause for 1 cofflplaint.—Harbinger, iChris.)
